Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Systemic antidiarrheal agents slow the motility of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract through direct action on the lining of the GI tract to inhibit local reflexes (bismuth subsalicylate), through direct action on the muscles of the GI tract to slow activity (loperamide), or through action on central nervous system (CNS) centers that cause GI spasm and slowing (opium derivatives). Options B, C, and D are not correct.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Dendrites carry information to the nerve and axons; they also carry information from a nerve to be transmitted to effector cells, which are found in muscles, glands, or another nerve. Soma refers to the cell body. The nucleus is the central part of a cell, which is responsible for the cell's growth, reproduction, and metabolism.
